MECON FLAP FLOW METER

Mecon Flap Flow Meter Design / operating principle
The main parts of flap flowmeter are a measuring flap which is pivoted and a metal housing.

In a no-flow situation the flap closes the pipe under its own weight. With increasing flow the flap is lifted depending on the flow velocity. The actual flowrate can be read directly on the dial. The bottom edge of the flap is the reference.

The FI Prima is a robust flap flowmeter for operating temperatures up to 250 °C (482 °F) and pressures up to 16 bar (232 psi). It is optionally available with an inductive contact for flow control applications.
